Lily's evolution process was even more rapid than expected. From the appearance of the anomaly to her transformation, it only took a few minutes, but the process was still quite spectacular: a large area with a radius of a hundred meters was flattened into a bowl shape by the wind pressure generated during her transformation, with all the soil and rocks within the range turning to dust. After the most intense shockwave ended, Lily had transformed into a massive beast, about seven to eight meters long and over three meters tall, even larger than Sharlie. Just by size, she was as imposing as Izax when he first arrived, but it seemed that only her size was imposing.
Vivian stretched her neck and watched for a long time, then finally confirmed after hearing a "howl—woof": "It's really a husky."
"Don't joke around, we're dealing with serious business here," Hao Ren's first reaction was disbelief. He didn't take the statement seriously, thinking Vivian was just taking the opportunity to tease the silly werewolf. Honestly, he thought the giant canine in the pit was a wolf, from its size to its aura, though its facial features were slightly softer... But look at those eyes full of killing intent, the triangular ears standing straight, and the sharp teeth... It looked like a wolf.
It was just that last "woof" that was hard to understand.
"I'm not joking," Vivian shot Hao Ren a glance. "Although huskies look a lot like wolves, you can still tell the difference if you look closely. I've dealt with werewolves for thousands of years and have even witnessed some wolves evolve into various dogs. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell?"
Hao Ren was taken aback, only then noticing that Vivian's face was not joking at all. The vampire girl was unusually serious, stating the facts, which made him feel a sense of unreality: "...You're saying... it's a husky?!"
Vivian nodded vigorously, almost creating a blur.
Hao Ren was speechless, slowly turning his head to look at Lily. The giant "wolf" was still looking up at the moon, howling and barking intermittently. Hao Ren felt the information overload was making it impossible for him to think normally, so he could only hold his head and slowly squat down: "Don't say anything, let me think..."
But no matter how he tried to process it, the fact was right in front of him. This was not something that could be handled with a "sturdy worldview." He had to face the shocking truth: Lily, after fully transforming, revealed her true form—a husky...
A husky, folks, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters! A husky! At this moment, even the author couldn't believe their keyboard, so how could Hao Ren believe all this?
But whether he believed it or not, Lily seemed quite satisfied. After entering her beast form, she felt a long-lost sense of comfort, with all her suppressed strength and instincts released. She barked at the moon for several minutes before noticing the few friends standing at the edge of the pit. She immediately started running over joyfully—imagine what it looks like when a seven to eight-meter-long husky runs joyfully. Hao Ren was awakened by a mild earthquake, snapping out of his state of disbelief. He looked up to see a huge, sharp-nosed mouth with rows of teeth looming over him, breaking out in a cold sweat: "...Wait! What are you doing, Lily! We agreed to stay conscious throughout the process..."
"She just wants to lick you," Vivian said lightly, flying to the side, irresponsibly leaving the statement. Izax ran even faster, the demon directly teleporting a hundred meters away when he saw the situation.
"Lick me...?" Hao Ren managed to say a few words before feeling a warm tongue land on him like a speeding car. If his body wasn't enhanced, this lick might have broken half his ribs. Lily's tongue even forced out Hao Ren's rigid shield, making his body glow with a translucent light membrane. This membrane prevented him from being accidentally torn apart by Lily, but it couldn't save his new clothes.
By the time Vivian and Izax, the two heartless guys, came to the rescue, Hao Ren looked as if he had just been bombed in the Middle East, with two-thirds of his clothes in Lily's stomach...
"Didn't you get covered in saliva?" Vivian asked, seemingly concerned, but she quickly noticed the layer of translucent, protective membrane on Hao Ren's body that had blocked Lily's saliva attack. She became very interested in this layer, "Hey, is this the rigid shield you mentioned? Let me hit it a few times to see if it works?"
"Can you find me some clothes first?" Hao Ren looked down at his barely decent, tattered clothes, almost in tears, "Also, does anyone know how to communicate with Lily? Now she only says 'howl' and 'woof'..."
Where could Vivian find clothes for Hao Ren? In the end, Izax had to take off his coat and drape it over Hao Ren. The coat was just a jacket on Izax, but on Hao Ren, it felt like a cloak. Lily was still in a state of excitement and hadn't calmed down. She didn't realize how much trouble she was causing her small friends, just tilting her head and watching with interest as Vivian flew around her head, twisting her neck like an unruly puppy... a big puppy. Occasionally, she would stretch her neck to try to lick Hao Ren again, but this time he was smart enough to run away immediately—after all, the clothes he was wearing were borrowed.
Vivian flew around Lily's head for a while, confirming that the big dog wouldn't bite before daring to get closer, shouting to communicate: "Big dog! Can you hear me?"
Lily's ears twitched, turning sensitively toward Vivian. She then nodded vigorously, panting heavily as she nodded, her tail wagging so hard it almost kicked up dust. Seeing this, Hao Ren, no matter how unwilling, had to accept it: the girl he had raised as a werewolf for a month was actually a husky spirit...
A real wolf would never wag its tail like that!
Vivian, confirming that Lily could understand human speech, felt a bit more at ease and asked loudly: "Can you speak?"
Lily opened her mouth: "Howl...?"
"She can hear but not speak, this silly one... After evolving, she's even more useless than before," Vivian flapped her wings and landed, her face a mix of laughter and tears. "I was actually nervous for three whole days, afraid she would become powerful after evolving..."
"I feel she is indeed more powerful," Izax commented from the side. In the demon's world, there were no huskies, so he was the only one who didn't understand why Hao Ren and Vivian were reacting so strongly.
"…This has nothing to do with combat ability," Hao Ren's tone was as strange as it could be. "A husky is a benchmark—of silliness."
A blue light streaked over from a distance, and the data terminal, which had been used as a detector (or mine sweeper?) near Lily, returned to Hao Ren. The unfortunate PDA had withstood the shockwave and was buried several meters underground, but now it looked completely unscathed, a testament to the advanced technology of the Protheans. The data terminal didn't complain, just rapidly circling Hao Ren: "What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a werewolf reverting to its ancestral form? Why did it turn into a giant husky?"
Even the data terminal said this, confirming Lily's true form—this PDA had biological scanning capabilities.
After transforming into her beast form, Lily's attention level seemed to revert to that of a husky. Despite being so close to Hao Ren and the others, she paid no attention to what they were saying. Soon, her focus shifted to other things. She started wandering around, picking up "small stones" (as big as millstones) and throwing them to herself, digging large holes with her front paws for no apparent reason, and most of the time, she was running around aimlessly. The commotion caused by such a massive creature running was considerable, but the most jarring was her wagging tail while running...
This innocent and carefree demeanor was almost unbearable to watch. Hao Ren felt that he wouldn't dare face movies or TV shows, let alone a dictionary, for the rest of his life...
